Born on June 22, 1970, Michael Trucco is an actor who is most famous for his work as Samuel T. Anders on Battlestar Galactica. He studied at Junipero Serra High School and though he wanted to follow his father's footsteps as a police officer, his interest changed as he got exposed to theater. Subsequently, he completed his degree in Theatre Arts at the Santa Clara University.
In 1997, Trucco made his TV debut on Pensacola: Wings of Gold, followed by roles on Confessions of a Sexist Pig, Charmed, Ablaze, Knight Club, A Girl, Three Guys, and a Gun, Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, The Groomsmen and Tru Calling.
In 2005, Trucco played the recurring role of Cooper Lee on One Tree Hill. That same year, he was also cast as Samuel T. Anders on Battlestar Galactica, which was his biggest role thus far. Most recently, though, he became a series regular on the USA Network series Fairly Legal.
